If you are low on cash, hungry, and desperate for a ramen under $5, then I recommend buying some nama-ramen from the refrigerated section and cooking it at home yourself. Located inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace, I've always wondered if Sakura served a decent ramen. And now that I've tried it, I can only wonder why it has yet to be replaced by Santouka.
Shoyu-ramen: An old-school ramen with that tangy shoyu taste. A great deal for the huge bowl at $4.50, but hardly a tongue-pleaser. The toppings (chashu, negi, and moyashi) failed to do anything but disappoint. The noodles were のびてる (overcooked)--a cardinal sin of ramen.
The chashu looked like a wood chip, and quite frankly tasted like one.
SAKURA was better when the market was Mitsuwa. There are new owners now (Korean). It sucks!!! I ordered a chicken bowl. the chicken must of been like two days old. never going back.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Is it still called Sakura? And do they still serve ramen? I haven't checked out that market yet.
